IBOX66 is a multi-functional embedded industrial computer independently developed by
Chengdu Vantron Technology Co., Ltd. Running the latest Android 11 operating system, the
high-performance industrial computer is GMS certified to enable customers to have
unimpeded access to Google mobile services.
IBOX66 is running on RK3566, a cost-effective multi-core processor developed by Rockchip.
With 4GB memory and 32GB eMMC storage, it features quick access to data and ultra large
capacity. As such, it is capable of dealing with huge volume of data in a timely manner.
As IBOX66 provides rich interfaces, a wide choice of peripherals can be connected for
extended applications, including barcode scanners, cameras, barcode printers and
keyboard plates. It also supports ultra-high-definition video outputs thanks to the high-
performance video engine coupled with H.265 (HEVC) hardware decoding and 1080p/2K
video decoding. Moreover, display interfaces of different specifications allow flexible
application of the device in intelligent retailing, new retailing, financial self-service
terminals, and other scenarios.
